I drifted into the kitchen and found Daisy returning, joining her and Mom at the counter while my mother worked on a list of needs for the catering job she'd hooked me into.
"I'm so glad you volunteered," Mom said before I could change my mind and tell her she was on her own after all. Not that I would. Maybe if Grace had turned out to be a jerk. But I found myself warming up to the task while Daisy leaned in to look at Mom's list. "Maybe this will finally put an end to the silly animosity between you and Vivian."
